QotD: World Series 2007
What are your predictions for the World Series?
As much as I love the Rockies, I can't say they're going to make a series sweep. My prediction? Colorado takes it 4 games to 2.
Game One: Rox lose - too much time off, they have to dust off and settle down from the excitement of making the World Series... plus it's in Boston
Game Two: Rox win - they come to their senses and get back in their playoff groove
Game Three: Rox win again - first home game, crowd hyped, the rockin' at Coors Field comes into play
Game Four: Rox continue their streak, Boston can't adjust to the altitude
Game Five: Rox lose - too much excitement about being on the verge of winning, over confidence, too much craziness at Coors Field
Game Six: Rox get a handle on things, settle down, and keep it from going to a game seven. Riots in Colorado. Me really hungover at work, if I even make it to work. Oh wait, I'm already taking the day off since our last night at Kazmos is that night... muahahaha!

Just kidding.
More like I wish the Rockies had gotten off the plane at SOME POINT during the Series. Their heads were in the clouds... that's the most disappointing thing of the whole WS. They didn't play the same ball they were playing in Aug/Sep. And it wasn't just because the Sox were dominating them or their pitchers were so bad.
The players had a lot of mental errors, especially while in the batter's box. Chasing pitches they would've be chasing otherwise. And add in the fact that everyone had their "I'm gonna be a hero and hit a homerun" swing, they just didn't look right offensively. Defense needed some work, but not like our offense. I'm let down... but not. My boys made it to the effing World Series - only one other team can say that this year.
This was just a bad, evil week for professional sports in Colorado... I think I need to go burn some incense, call people in for a drum circle and sing kumbaya in hopes of getting our teams back on track.
